PRACTICE TEST 4
A. There are a myriad of lifestyle issues affecting the youth of today. Such is the pressure heaped
on many school-goers to achieve academic excellence by their parents that these
1_unrealistic______ (real) expectations are causing children to become hopelessly depressed.
Indeed, some, in their 2_desperation______ (despair) to escape and their sense of guilt at being
unable reach the levels of success demanded of them by their 3_pushy______ (push) parents,
either rebel in what is 4_tantamount______ (amount) to a cry for help, or, worse still, engage in
5_self-harm______ (harm). It is no coincidence that suicide rates, expecially amongst young
males, have been rising steadily for some time now. These are tough times to be a teen.
Then there are those who get hooked on the internet; the 6 _virtual______ (virtue) world
becomes their reality. For these teens, their social circle shrinks 7_dramaticaly______ (drama)
until, at last, their friendship sphere is limited solely to their online 8_buddies______ (bud). Not
alone do they commonly suffer from sleep 9_disprivation______ (private) on account of their
destructive addiction to game play and net-surfing, their behaviour may become so 10
_erractic______ (err) and peculiar over time as to be considered 11_antisocial______ (social) .
And while they sit at their computer screens hidden away in splendid isolation from the real
world, such is the lack of exercise they get that their calorie intake far exceeds what is necessary
for them to maintain a stable weight. In essence, due to their sedentary lifestyle, their weight
12_skyrockets______ (rocket) until such time as they become morbidly obese.

B. The standard of television programming produced in this country is in terminal decline. The
1__watershed_____ (shed) has become a meaningless term confined in its 2_applocability______
(apply) to 3__bygone_____ (go) days when adult content felt the full force of censorship and was
not allowed to appear on the box until after 9:00 p.m. Nowadays, however, it seems anything
goes any time. And, truth told, whatever anything is, it seldom 'goes' for much longer than a half
hour or so at any rate before it is interrupted by a commercial break. And don't even get me
started on those appalling 4_informercials______ (inform) most of the networks run right the
way through the night, one after another, for up to thirty minutes at a time. lt is truly painful.
Terrestrial television is now, as far as I am concerned, a laughing stock. All the quality has been
bought up by the satellite networks, with their big-money weight behind them, but even here
5_pickings______ (pick) are slim. In protest at the dire state of things, I have become a converted
6_netizen______ (net). I look to the web now to find good content. There, I can find just enough
7_re-run______ (run) of quality programmes to prevent myself from falling into utter despair
and pining for the good old days of 8_yesteryear______ (year).

C. In January 2001, the 1_intergovernmental______ (govern) Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

issued its latest report on climate change. Climate models worked out by giant super-
computers had become far more reliable since the previous report in 1995 and allowed
them to 2_reappraise______ (praise) the earlier projections for global warming. Their
conclusions were that something very serious is happening and that it cannot be a natural
process. The 1990s was the hottest decade for 1,000 years and the Earth is warming faster
than at any time in the last 10,000 years. According to the report, human activities are
3_unequivocally______ (equivocate) to blame for the temperature rise. The burning of
fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and, due to deforestation, there are fewer trees to
absorb this gas and recycle it back into oxygen. Methane 4__concentrations_____
(concentrate) have also gone up dramatically because of increases in rice culture and
5_cattle raising______ (cattle), both of which generate methane from
6_decomposing______ (compose) vegetation. These greenhouses gases trap heat in the
Earth’s atmosphere and cause the temperature to rise. In the worst case, the resulting
melting of ice-caps and glaciers would cause sea levels to rise by up to 88 cm,
endangering the homes and 7_livelihood______ (lively) of tens of millions of people
who live in low-lying regions.
Unfortunately, there is far greater 8_unanimity______ (unanimous) among the world’s
scientists over the issue than among politicians. As long ago as 1990, the IPCC recommended a
60% reduction in carbon dioxide 9_emissions______ (emit), as the basic level required to return
the planet’s climate to a healthy level. Governments globally failed to 10_enact______ (act) these
proposals. Now that the dangers have been reaffirmed by the latest report, it is high time that
governments took an active interest in exploring alternative, renewable energy sources.
D. People intuitively recognize the importance of self-esteem to their psychological health, so it
isn't particularly remarkable that most of us try to protect and enhance it in ourselves whenever
possible. What is remarkable is that attention to self-esteem has become a(n) 1_communal______
(commune) concern, at least for Americans, who see a favorable opinion of oneself as the central
psychological source from which all manner of positive outcomes spring. The corollary, that low
self-esteem lies at the root of individual and thus 2_societal______ (society) problems and
3_dysfunctions______ (function), has sustained an ambitious social agenda for decades. Indeed,
campaigns to raise people's sense of self-worth abound. Consider what transpired in California in
the late 1980s. Prodded by State Assemblyman John Vasconcellos, Governor George
Deukmejian set up a task force on self-esteem and personal and social responsibility.
Vasconcellos argued that raising self-esteem in young people would reduce crime, teen
pregnancy, drug abuse, school 4_underachievement______ (achieve) and pollution. At one
point, he even expressed the hope that these efforts would one day help balance the state budget,
a prospect predicated on the observation that people with high 5_self-regard______ (regard) earn
more than others and thus pay more in taxes. Along with its other activities, the task force
assembled a team of scholars to survey the relevant literature. The results appeared in a 1989
volume 6_entitled______ (title) The Social Importance of Self-Esteem, which stated that "many,
if not most, of the major problems plaguing society have roots in the low self-esteem of many of
the people who make up society." In reality, the report contained little to support that assertion.
E. An emerging discipline called neuroaesthetics is seeking to bring scientific
1_objectivity______ (objective) to the study of art, and has already given us a better
understanding of many 2_masterpieces______ (master). The blurred 3_imagery______ (image)
of Impressionist paintings seems to stimulate the brain's amygdala, for instance. Since the
amygdala plays a crucial role in our feelings, that finding might explain why many people find
these pieces so 4_moving______ (move).
Could the same approach also shed light on abstract twentieth-century pieces, from Mondrian's
geometrical blocks of colour, to Pollock's 5_seemingly______(seem) haphazard arrangements of
splashed paint on canvas? 6_sceptics______ (sceptical) believe that people claim to like such
works simply because they are famous. We certainly do have an inclination to follow the crowd.
When asked to make simple 7_perceptual______ (perceive) decisions such as matching a shape
to its rotated image, for example, people often choose a definitively wrong answer if they see
others doing the same. It is easy to imagine that this 8_mentality______ (mental) would have
even more impact on a fuzzy concept like art appreciation, where there is no right or wrong
answer.
F. Pop art was a(n) 1_unconversational______ (convention) art style in which
2_commonplace______ (common) objects such as comic strips, soup cans and road signs were
used as subject matter, and were often incorporated into the work. The pop art movement was
largely a British and American cultural phenomenon of the late 1950s and ‘60s. Art critic
Lawrence Alloway, referring to the prosaic 3_iconography______ (icon) of its painting and
sculpture, named the movement pop art. It represented an attempt to return to a more objective
and 4_universally______ (universe) accepted form of art after the dominance in both the United
States and Europe of the highly personal abstract 5_expressionism______ (express). The art form
was iconoclastic, rejecting the 6_supremacy______ (supreme) of the ‘high art’ of the past and the
7_pretentiousness______ (pretend) of other contemporary avant-garde art. Pop art became a
cultural institution because of its close reflection of a particular social situation and because its
easily 8_comprehensible______ (comprehend) images were immediately exploited by the mass
media. Although the critics of pop art describe it as sensational and non-aesthetic, its proponents
saw it as an art that was democratic and not 9_discriminatory______ (discriminate), bringing
together both connoisseurs and untrained inexperienced viewers. Even though public reaction to
pop art was 10_unfavourable______ (favour), it found critical acceptance as a form of art suited
to the highly technological, mass media-oriented society of western countries.
G. The comedy Bringing Up Baby, on the other hand, presents practically non-stop dialogue
delivered at 1_breakneck______ (neck) speed. This use of dialogue 2_undercrores______ (score)
not only the dizzy quality of the character played by Katherine Hepburn, but also the
3_absurdity______ (absurd) of the film itself and thus its humor. The audience is bounced from
gag to gag and conversation to conversation; there is no time for audience reflection. The
audience is caught up in a(n) 4_whirlwwind______ (wind) of activity in simply managing to
follow the plot. This film presents pure 5_escapism_____ (escape) - largely due to its frenetic
dialogue.

to sit down. We took a bus and arrived just as large shops of rain were beginning to fall.
The museum was quite (5.desert) deserted and very peaceful. We sat down in the main hall and
listened to the rain (6. beat) beating against the windows.
Suddenly, there was a great (7. disturb) disturbance at the (8. enter) entrance a large party of
schoolboys were (9. lead) led in by a teacher. The poor man was trying to keep them quiet
and threatening to punish them, but they did not pay the (10.slight) slightest attention.
2. Complete the following passage by supplying the correct form of the word to fill in each blank.
The increase in city crime is a global phenomenon. Some people say that a lot of crime in this
country is because of (1 - migrate) immigration and the new people arriving from other countries
bring different (2 - culture) cultural values and attitudes to the law. I don’t agree with this idea
because the most common crimes are (3 - local) locally produced and not imported from other
countries. (4 - Vandal) vandalism is one of the biggest crimes in my city with bus shelters and
shop windows being popular targets. Another popular crime is (5 - pay) unpaid parking fines,
which is unlikely to be because of immigrants because most of them do not own cars. The (6 -
oppose) opposing point of view is that young local people feel angry when they can’t get a job
and in order to (7 - hand) handle the change in their environment, they strike out at easy targets.
This would explain why bicycle (8 - thief) theft is more common than car crime these days,
especially in rich (9 - neighbors) neighborhoods where most cars are protected with electronic
alarms. Another reason, though, for so many bicycles getting stolen might be that the (10 -
punish) punishment is not very severe compared to car stealing which can land you in prison for a
number of years.

AUTUMN COLORS
A new term is rapidly gaining recognition in the American language - a 'leaf peeper' is someone
who, in autumn, is on the outlook (1. LOOK) for areas where the leaves of deciduous trees have
changed colour. In New England, in the USA, 'leaf peeping' is big business, generating millions
of dollars annually. The first report that leaves are changing colour sets off an invasion (2.
INVADE) of 'peepers' thus causing serious obstruction on some roads. Thousands of people log
on to websites in their eagerness (3. EAGER) to find the location of the trees that have foliage in
the most glorious (4. GLORY)colours. The popularity of 'leaf tourism' is well established in New
England, and the changing colours of autumn provide an annual talking (5. TALK) point. The
colours vary from year to year since the intensity (6. INTENSE) of the colour is dependent (7.
DEPEND) on the chemical composition of the dying leaves. After a long dry summer, leaves
often turn bright red, while cloudy autumn days will produce less spectacular yellows. If climate
change leads to increasingly (8. INCREASE) hot, dry summers in the northern hemisphere, then
countries in Europe can expect summers not _ _ (9. LIKE) those across the Atlantic. They will
then enjoy a kaleidoscope of seasonal (10. SEASON)colour to rival the deep reds and blazing
oranges seen in New England.

Vitamins, taken in tiny doses, are a major group of organic compounds that regulate the 1. (organic)
mechanisms by which the body converts food into energy. They should not be 2. (alphabet)
confused with minerals, which are inorganic in their makeup. Although in general the 3. (identify)
naming of vitamins followed the alphabetical order of their identificationthe 4. (organize)
nomenclature of individual substances may appear to be somewhat random and
disorganizedAmong the 13 vitamins known today, five are produced in the body.
Because the body produces sufficient quantities of some but not all vitamins, they must 5. (designate)
be supplemented in the daily diet. Although each vitamin has its specific designation
and cannot be replaced by another compound, a lack of one vitamin can interfere with
the processing of another. When a lack of even one vitamin in a diet is continual, a 6. (sure)
vitamin deficiency may result. 7. (vary)
The best way for an individual to ensure a necessary supply of vitamins is to 8. (equal)
maintain a balanced diet that includes a lot of foods and provides adequate quantities of 9. (balance)
all the compounds. Some people take vitamin supplements, predominantly in the form 10. (Specify)
of tablets. The vitamins in such supplements are equivalent to those in food, but an
adult who maintains a balanced diet does not need a daily supplement. The ingestion of
supplements is recommended only to correct an existing deficiency due to balanced
diet, to provide vitamins known to be lacking in a restricted diet, or to act as a
 therapeutic measure in medical medical treatment. , caution must be exercised with fat-
soluble substances, such as vitamins A and D, because, taken in gigantic doses, they
may present a serious health hazard over a period of time.

and meanwhile establishing an international reputation. From 1713 on, Vivaldi was also (6)

and (7) _____ (else) to oversee performances of his operas. In about 1740 he accepted a position
at the court of Empire Charles VI in Vienna. He died in Vienna on July 28, 1741.
Vivaldi’s concertos provided a model for this genre throughout Europe, affecting the style

The ritornello was a section that recurred in (9) _different____ (differ) keys and was played by
the full orchestra. It alternated with soloist-dominated sections (episodes) that in his works were
often virtuosic in character. He virtually established the three-movement format for the concerto
and was among the first to introduce cadenzas for soloists. His opus 8 concertos entitled The Four
Seasonsare early examples of (10) _orchestral___ (orchestra) program music. Like much of his
music, they are marked by vigorous rhythms and

that. We can now get in contact by an endless list of social
media outlets, yet this means we’re starting to lack genuine

Shadow puppetry is a traditional art form that often goes (1. appreciate) appreciated in modem
times. A large part of the (2. appealable) appeal of puppet shows is the (3. craft) craftiness behind
the creation of the actual puppets. In shadow puppetry, on the other hand, the puppets remain (4.

background screen, and the light itself creates the overall effect of the shadow puppet show. The

in order to produce the optimal experience for the audience. The screen is the medium through

Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki expedition
The Norwegian explorer and (0. ARCHAEOLOGY) --> ARCHAEOLOGIST, Thor Heyerdahl,
accomplished many things during his life but his name has become (1. SEPARABLE)
inseparably linked with the Kon-Tiki voyage. In 1937, while doing research in the western
Pacific, Heyerdahl became (2. INCREASE) increasingly interested in how the Polynesian
islands had become populated. He made the observation that ocean currents flowed across the
Pacific from east to west. Since there were cultural (3. SIMILAR) similarities to be found on
either side of this ocean, he was convinced that South Americans had sailed westwards to
populate these islands before the eleventh century.
The (4. CENTRE) central argument against Heyerdahl’s theory was lack of evidence that, at that
time, boats existed with the (5. CAPABLE) capablity to cross such an (6. EXPAND) expanse
of ocean. So a determined Heyerdahl built a primitive raft of balsa wood, named it Kon-Tiki, and
on April 28th, 1947, left Peru with a crew at five. Moved along by the ocean currents, the fragile
raft Kon-Tiki sailed a steady 70 kilometers a day.
Despite heavy storms, failure never crossed the crew’s minds. After 97 days, they caught (7.
SEE) sight of tone of the islands. However, due to unusually high winds they could not land
and, realising that a reef presented an (8. AVOID) unavoidable obstacle, they prepared for the

Food miles
In Britain, what is described as 'food miles', the distance which food is transported from

Mineral, vitamin, and (1) _antioxidant____ health supplements make up a multi-billion-dollar
industry in the United States alone, but do they really work? Evidence suggests supplementation
is clearly indicated in special circumstances, but can actually be harmful in others. For the
general population, however, supplements have (2) _negligible_____ or no impact on the
prevention of common cancers, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, mortality, or any other
major (3) _indicators____ of health. In (4) _pursuit____ of a longer, happier and healthier, there
are certainly better investments for most people than a tube of vitamin supplements.
Particular sub-groups of the population can gain a (5) _proven_____ benefit from
supplementation. Folic acid has long been indicated as a (6) _prenatal_____ supplement due to its
assistance in foetal cell division and corresponding ability to prevent neural tube birth defects.
The elderly may also benefit from extra vitamin D; calcium can help prevent bone fractures, and
zinc can maintain vision while deflecting macular degeneration in people who would otherwise
be likely to develop this (7) _affliction______.
There is (8) _mounting_____ evidence, however, for many people to steer clear or
multivitamins. The prime example is (9) _excessive__________ vitamin A has been proven to

Responding to (1. PROVOKE) unprovoked insults that have been thrown at you is a wonderful
way of honing your sense of humour. The great (2. PLAY) playwrightGeorge Bernard Shaw was
a (3. CONTEMPORANEOUS) contemporary of Winston Churchill’s. George Bernard Shaw
thoughtfully invited Churchill to the first night of one of his plays, (4. CLOSE) enclosingtwo
tickets with a note which said, “One for yourself and one for a friend – if you have one.”
Churchill lost no time in writing back, saying that unfortunately, due to pressure of work, he
would be (5. ABLE) unable to come, but could he have tickets for the second night – if there is
one.” This joke was (6. DATE) updated more recently by a (7. PROMINENCE) prominent
politician in the labour party, when speaking to a colleague and (8. TERM) long-term rival of his.
The two men found themselves in the same meeting, despite being (9. SWEAR) sworn enemies.
The colleague apparently rose to excuse himself, saying that he had arranged to phone some
friends, where upon the statesman immediately handed him a small coin (enough for a brief local
call) and said (10. WIT) wittily, “There you are. Go ahead and phone them all.”

spontaneity and enthusiasm are valued by those watching or listening. Sports
commentators usually broadcast live in an essentially unscripted way, although they may
refer to previously prepared materials such as sports statistics. Because of the (9)

is vital. The Internet has helped enormously with this aspect of the job. Anyone interested

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Albert Einstein’s work has enormously (1)(BROAD) broadened our understanding of the
universe and has had a (2)(CONSIDER) considerable impact on all our lives. Thanks to his
equation E = mc2, we now know that energy and mass (or matter) are directly related to each
other. To a very great (3)(EXTEND) extent, it is Einstein who is responsible for our now
knowing that space and time are actually one thing: space-time. (4)(ADD) addictionally, without
E = mc2, we would not have nuclear power – and nuclear weapons – today.
Einstein did not become famous because of E = mc2 , which was first published in 1905. At the
time, his paper was (5)(LARGE) largely ignored, even by most scientists. Indeed, it was 14 years
later that Einstein first made headlines round the world, when scientific evidence began to show
that his Theory of General Relativity, which was an (EXTEND) extension of his 1905 paper, was
correct.
The idea that only a tiny (7)(MINOR) minority of scientists can understand Einstein’s theories
comes from this media reporting. The New York Times asked its golfing correspondent to cover
the story. As he was clearly out of his (8)(DEEP) depth, he presumed that everyone else was too.
A myth was born.
Space, time, energy and mass are (9)(WEIGH) weighty subjects – no pun intended – to get to

of Einstein’s work for our lives, however, may well be (10)(FINITE) ìninite

Just how readable should a popular science book be? This may seem an old question, but
there is an important issue at stake here, as was made clear at the recent Aventis Science Book
Awards, when jury chairman Lewis Wolpert (1) passionately (passion) espoused the cause for
making the genre more demanding of readers.
The biologist believes too many science writers are now running scared of (2) complexity
(complex). As he pointed out, the public does not expect James Joyce or T.S. Eliot to be easy
follow. Indeed, readers positively relish these authors’ intricacies, (3) labyrinthine (labyrinth)
excesses and abstruse metaphors. So why then do we exclude science writers from such (4)
expectation (expect), Wolpert asked, why do we presume that they – and only they - adopt the
approach of the lowest common literary denominator and grind down the (5) infinite (FINITE)
subtleties of the universe to an easy - to – digest pap?
In sort, science books should be written to produce as much cerebral sweat as do Ulysses
and The Wasteland, a point (6) extremplified (exemplary) by his jury’s choice of winner – Brian
Greene’s long, dense and extremely technical The Elegant Universe, an (7) uncompromising
( compromise ) treatise on cosmology. And it is here that we reach the nub of the issue for,
although (8) (ELEGANCE) elegantly written, the book is one of such density and opacity it
pushes the notion of popular science writing close to the precipice of (9) incomprehensibility
(comprehend) and leaves one fearful that it will only daunt, rather than attract, the (10)
uninitiated (initiate).

The (1. assert) assertion that mathematics has been a major force in the of modern culture appears
to many people (2. credible) incredible or, at best, a rank exaggeration. This (3. believe) disbelief
results from a very common but (4. error) erroneous conception of what mathematics really is.
Influenced by what was taught in school, the average person regards mathematics as a series of
techniques of use only to the scientists, the engineer and perhaps the (5. finance) financierThe
reaction to such teaching is (6. taste) distaste for the subject and a decision to ignore it. When
challenged on this decision, a well-read person can obtain the support of authorities. No less than

Despite such (9. authority) authoritative judgments, the layman’s decision to ignore mathematics

an aura of strength or power dependent on posture, gestures and eye movement. Quick,
enthusiastic, (2- MEAN) _meaningful__________ movements and gestures suggest a dynamic,
alert person. People who look at, and maintain eye contact with their audience while conversing
with them exude confidence and (3- FEAR) _fearlessness__________
Somebody who is relaxed enough to stand before his audience without any(4- VISION)
_visual__________ signs of stress exudes self- assuredness and honesty. Even though these
people are comfortable in their stance, they hold themselves erect and avoid looking round-
shouldered or hunched over. Being lazy with one’s posture could be (5- INDICATE)
_indicative__________of defeat, while standing tall and proud paints a picture of one who is in
charge.
Being conscious of one’s posture and gestures when sitting is also (6- CONDUCT)
_conductive__________ to creating the right impression on the (7- HOLD)
_beholder__________. When one wishes to appear self-assured and knowledgeable in an
important (8- PERSON) __interpersonal_________ situation where sitting is required, a high,
straight-backed chair should be chosen when possible. Placing and clasping the hands behind the
head, with elbows stretched to the sides, adds to the impression of comfortable (9- ASSERT)
__assertiveness_________. It also keeps the hands under control and out of danger of (10-
WANT) __unwanted_________ fidgeting

My time in China had given me an enduring interest in Chinese art, so I decided to go to Liu Li
Chang, where for centuries there has been an antiquities market. Unfortunately, many things for

somewhat (2.ILLUSION) _disillusioned_______,I went into a tea house and sat through the
usual ceremony, but there were (3.IDENTIFY) __identifiable______ differences here too: it
seemed quicker and the tea lacked that extraordinary lingering scent. Thoroughly (4.HEART)
_disheartened_______, I returned to my hotel: one of the enormous, faceless places which have
sprung up everywhere. Yet here, in a dark shop tucked away off the lobby, my melancholy mood
disappeared, for I met a (5.SURVIVE) _survivor_______ from 1989, who remembered me
instantly. Not everything had been entirely forgotten.
94. Write the correct form of the word given in the brackets.
Mankind's intuition of freedom, and our identification of freedom with knowledge, sets us apart
from animals. The animal's grasp of freedom is (6.SIGNIFY) _ínignificant______ in comparison,
being only the freedom to respond to external stimuli. The nearest creature to us on the
(7.EVOLVE)_evolutionary______ tree of life, the chimpanzee, can't retain an image for a
sufficient length of time to be able to reflect on it. So animal's life is largely a matter of
conditioned reflexes, performed in an (8.TERMINATE)_interminable______present; in short,
animals are little more than machines with consciousness. While the animal is carried along
(9.SUBMIT) _submissively______ on the stream of time, mankind has certain capacities that
(10.POWER) _empower______ us to resist the current or look into the future.

96. Give the correct form of the words given in brackets.
A recent government report (1. HIGH) __highlights_____ the extent to which credit card debt is
spiraling. Blame is (2. PORTION) _apportioned______ solely to the credit card companies, who,
the report claims, will go to any (3. LONG) _lenghts______ to attract new customers. (4. ADD)
_additionally______, according to the report, they are responsible for encouraging (5. EXIST)
_existing______ customers to borrow more by raising their monthly limit. Certainly a recent
advertising campaign by a major credit card company – which has since been (6. DRAW)
_withdrawn______– seems to bear these findings out.
However, while the responsibility of the credit card companies is not (7. CONSIDER)
_inconsiderable______, it is, in my opinion, unfair to lay all the blame on their shoulders. The (8.
MAJOR) _majority______ of credit card users are able to make their (9. PAY) _payments______
on time without difficulty. There will always be a minority of people in our society who are
financially (10. RESPONSE) _irresponsible______. If they run up huge debts, is it really the
credit card company’s fault?
